From next Monday, there’ll be more trains running on the Léman Express.
There’ll be a service every 15 minutes from Annemasse to Coppet until midnight during the week, 10pm on Sundays – that’s double the amount now.
Since the service opened in December 2019, it now handles 70,000 passengers a day – a number far exceeding the initial expectations.
It’s hoped the increase in trains outside peak hours will make it more attractive for leisure trips and shift workers.
